A man has been taken to hospital with possible life-threatening injuries after he was hit by a car while with his young son in east London.
The 40-year-old was with his four-year-old son when they were involved in a collision on the A11 Whitechapel Road, at the junction with Cavell Street, yards from the Royal London Hospital.
A Met spokeswoman said the man suffered injuries that are “potentially life threatening or life changing”.
His son was also taken to hospital but is in a stable condition, police added.
Police and paramedics were called to the busy road shortly before 12pm to reports of a collision involving a car and two pedestrians.
The driver of the car was not hurt and stopped at the scene. Police said he is assisting them with their enquiries.
Some roads in the area remain shut.
